This third part of the review on defects as root cause of fatigue failure addresses cavities
(pores, micro-shrinkages, unmelted regions), defective microstructures and microcracks as …

Foreign object damage (FOD) introduced in service, indentations, and nicks encountered
during maintenance are typical defects leading to pre-scrap of high-speed railway axles. A …

The effect of surface damage, such as dents caused due to the low velocity impact of hard
blunt objects, on the fatigue life of mechanical components are investigated in this paper. A …

A methodology for evaluating the effect of surface damage in the fatigue life of nickel
superalloys is presented in this paper. Dents generated due to low velocity impacts of hard …

This work aims to quantitatively evaluate the influence of the impact velocity, location, and
angle of a spherical foreign object on fatigue lives. A continuum damage mechanics (CDM) …

During the manufacturing and service process of gas turbine blades, various types of defects
may be formed and bring huge threat to the safe operation of gas turbine. To confirm …

During the manufacturing and service process of turbine blades, various types of defects

Based on fatigue experiment and digital image correlation (DIC) technique, the fatigue
damage behavior and the failure mechanism of the 2198 aluminum‐lithium alloy thin sheet …

The hitch pin is a critical component between tractor and trailer. The failure of hitch pins is
quite frequent and a serious issue which remains unaddressed to a great extent due to …

The objective of this work is to predict the fatigue life of components in the presence of
handling surface damage. In order to accurately predict the change in fatigue life of …
